Jetting and blowing are two common air-assisted cable installation techniques. Both methods require pushing the cable with a tractor mechanism while blowing compressed air into a pre-installed duct around the cable being installed. In return, these techniques enable installation of much longer cable lengths to take advantage of long manufactured lengths. Optical fiber cables for telecommunication application have been installed in pipes/ducts for many years. The installation process is influenced by local conditions, local climate, customer's existing procedures, and customer requirements. With a blend of skill, precision, and some nifty equipment, this process is not just efficient—it's downright fun!.
